<p>In IQCare V3.2 and above, there is no difference between adding an ARV Medication or any other non-ARV medication. Drugs are all handled the same way in the database. Each drug represents a physical item that can be held in inventory for dispensing. Each drug must have a generic name, trade name and strength.</p>
